  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.

    Motors, Control Arms and Ground Clearance

    Almost all the passenger size air systems I have seen utilize a sensor with an arm that attaches to the front upper control arm, and a rear leveling sensor that is attached the rear axle with a small arm. The sensors let the computer know what level they are at. When I was looking at the...

    I’m envisioning an accident scene and someone tackling a paramedic that’s sprinting towards the wreck, rifling through their med kit, pulling some Trauma Shears out, and saying “You’re welcome, I just saved your life!” I am willing to bet we will see either people buying the interior trim...

    It’s wild how much more secure and difficult it is to profit off of stealing iPhones are/is compared to expensive modern vehicles.

    I loved them and would buy one in a heartbeat if it had decent offroad chops. I believe the board agreed recently to sell all of the company’s assets to the former CEO (for a criminally cheap sum). It’s not clear if he is going to gut it and sell it all, or try to rebuild it. Very very shady...

    Mercedes Benz spends millions on attorneys and accountants to avoid paying billions in taxes. Not sure if angel investors are part of the equation with a globally established brand.

    I remember seeing a Toyota get hacked via the headlight harness at a white hat hacking completion a few years ago, but seeing this is actually happening is insane. It just takes splicing into the CanBus system. Wow. Definitely recommend giving it a watch. Edit: Shoutout to @SpaceEVDriver...

    They can showcase their engineering and technology, and write it off.

    If my $600 robot vacuum can have LiDAR, I don’t see why a $60k truck can’t too.

    It is true though. That coating prevents rock chips, which is how rust typically starts.

    I assumed it was a proof of concept and some type of support vehicle. Would actually make sense for rally’s and long distance races if a team is running a pure BEV.

    The most interesting part to me was that they took the 3rd row out, which kind of negates the entire point of choosing a mini-van. I get people needing space for camping gear, but the 3rd row folds flat into the floor already.
